PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE: LEARNING CENTERS
|
||||
| Home: | One of
the most effective tools that educators can use to encourage and facilitate both
the affective and cognitive development of our students is through the use of
group work. Structured group work places students in social situations in which
they must interact, negotiate, and find meaning with fellow students. These
situations, far from being too chaotic or playful, in fact need a highly
structured format - educators need to be well organized to make these situations
educationally relevant and socially meaningful. Below is an example of the amount of organization required to
complete a learning center. This example is for a grade 2 unit on movement and
simple machines.
